Glad someone besides me finally mentioned Benedictum. I love Seasons of Tragedy more and more every listen I give it.Pharaoh - Be Gone
Royal Hunt - Collision Course
Rage - Carved In Stone
Brainstorm - Downburst
Benedictum - Seasons of Tragedy
This is my top 5 so far, but I have to listen to the new albums from:
Ayreon
Battleroar
Stormwarrior
...and I am still waiting for some promising albums that have not been released yet.
This one is very high on my list now as well!Best album of 2008 thus far
WHITESNAKE-GOOD TO BE BAD
Glad someone besides me finally mentioned Benedictum. I love Seasons of Tragedy more and more every listen I give it.
I've heard and enjoyed most of the others on your list. Makes me want to check out Pharaoh's latest since I haven't heard that one yet.
Sorry CBD. I did miss your post. I went back through to check for who might have mentioned them, but I must have just missed yours. Glad to hear that someone besides me, DemonOfTheWoods, and Orfanos liked this release.I guess you didn't see my post on page 2 of this thread. "Beast in the Field" is one of my favorite songs of the year. Benedictum remind me A LOT of Strange Highways era Dio. Powerful stuff!
Oh....and the new Whitesnake does indeed kick major buttocks!
Can I get a HELLYEAH?!3 more to list...
Power Quest - Master Of Illusion
the Cynic promo was kinda lame, but this year has average/good releases one after another but nothing amazing.
